Welcome!

Thank you for checking out my Patreon. I really appreciate your interest in my work and your support means the world to me. My name is Emily Coleman and I sculpt my own world of nature inspired fantasy creatures. This is my full time job and I am so grateful to be able to do what I love every day and share it with you all!

I am the artist behind EmilySculpts and creator of the Arbori, the Keepers of the Forest. My work features plant based creatures that take the form of garden sculptures like planters and stakes.

I love reflecting the textures of nature in my work and integrating my art with plants. I also have a love for birds and other wildlife which you will see scattered amongst my body of work.

I am a sculptor that works in Monster Clay, Sculpey, and Apoxie Sculpt. I create my own silicone molds and cast my own resin figures, with the help of my husband and studio tech. I do all of my own sculpting, mold making, clean up work, and painting here in my home studio in Orlando, Florida.

I have been sculpting since 2001 and have created a variety of custom sculptures for clients over the years. Mold making and casting is a skill set that I have been perfecting for almost equally as long.

For a five year stretch, I taught college level traditional art classes where I gained the skills to write my first book
Fantasy Creatures in Clay, from Impact Books (Previously titled Creature Sculpt).

Here on Patreon, I display a variety of techniques and behind the scenes looks at things like building armatures, sculpting with various clays, mold making, casting techniques, and painting. I will also discuss materials and various other sculpture related topics. Content will vary from month to month depending on what I am currently working on.

I choose highlights from my daily work as an artist and compile them to bring you videos and blog posts showcasing what happens here at the studio. Patrons also get a closer, more detailed look at what I am sculpting on my weekly Twitch streams.

As the months go by, I will continue to revamp content to tailor it to the needs of my patrons. This place is for you so let's make it into something awesome together.

Thank you for joining us!
